Food logistics

As part of the food monitoring process, Bahrain tracks and manages the flow of food from its point of harvest as agricultural crops to its point of consumption once its been processed into food. This is to ensure that the processed food meets both the standards and demands required by the food market. In other words, the quality of food is measured and determined by its customer satisfaction.

Why does Bahrain Food Monitor need to keep track of its food logistics?

Without the organisation and implementation of food managing operations, the quality of food in Bahrain would be facing a serious challenge - more specifically, it would fail to identify any discrepancies in the quality of food being distributed to customers and ensure their freshness and safety for consumption. An example of this may be illustrated in the fact that one of the BLS’s responsibilities is to ensure that food is stored in the appropriate temperature controlled storage units within the warehouse that must be carefully checked and approved of by a highly skilled team of food specialists before being distributed to the food market.

Therefore, food logistics are important because they provide a holistic overview covering the management of food from the warehouse to the local market and the reception this has among customers in the food market.

Examples of Food Logistic Companies in Bahrain Bahrain's food logistics are managed by many companies

Bahrain's food logistics are managed by many companies, one being BMMI, a group that systematises international operations across several countries to provide the wholesale, distribution and retail and production of food and beverages across the kingdom. While the group itself specialises in several sectors, it is its BLS department, in particular, that serves to track, manage and implement the necessary procedures needed to ensure Bahrain’s food quality is in compliance with the ISO 22000:2005 international management food safety system standard.

Another company that deals with food logistics in Bahrain is TRAFCO, a company whose foundations are built on committing to customer standards to produce reliable products that meet the satisfaction of customers. The group specifically deals with the importation and distribution of food, including both its production and logistics. Over the last 40 years, TRAFCO, in line with these values has prided itself with being on of the biggest Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industries in the kingdom.
